The Toring Z-11 Eagle is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft designed by Toring Industries. Though primarily used by the Zamastanian Air Force, it is also used by the air forces of several other nations. The Z-11 Eagle was designed to be a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a wide variety of weapons. The aircraft can perform fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries. The Eagle first saw combat action during the 1999-2005 War in Vulkaria and subsequently participated in the Third Danaska War and 2020 intervention in Ossinia.
